Delicious Food You Can Just Order for a Stressless Noche Buena
The Christmas Eve traditional dinner or Noche Buena, as it’s commonly known in the Philippines and other countries colonized by Spain, is a big deal.
Ham, Edam cheese or queso de bola and hot chocolate are only some of the food and beverages that are Noche Buena staples.
Each family has their own traditional recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. Realistically though, not every family/person has the time to cook for hours or prepare food.
Thank you to chefs, cooks and restaurants who are offering food to go! This means less effort but food that is no less delicious.
